Revell 56 Ford F-100-COMPLETED PHOTOS!! 01/23

Well, I got the flames on the hood today. I shot 'em a shade darker than the Tamiya X-7 Red base color just to add a subtle effect. I still have to wet sand some of the roughness out before one more clear coat. Here's the hood..............



Here's another view that shows the whole front clip with flames. I was going for a really subtle look going for the "Ghost of Street Demons" look to pay tribute to the Street Demons series of this truck released back in 1983. Just gotta smooth it a little and go for another coat of gloss clear. We're off to the races now. lol

Sorry, didn't mean to leave you out Oscar. Thank you sir!

Thanks alot there Joe!! Fingers crossed on the flames!

Looking great! Keep up the good work!

Man! That is looking great so far Joe. The paint job is absolutely stellar and gorgeous. Can't wait to see the flames on. I sure hope it works out the way you want it to. Well done my friend.

Crown, Lee and Allan: Thank you guys for the encouraging responses.

Im lovin it! Like watching Counting Cars!

Sweet!

No problem there Greg!

So far so good here. It's been a bit since my last update but I've been painting body parts now for the last two weeks. Here's a quick test fit. I need to raise the front end just a tad but I'm likin' it so far. Flames came in last night so I hope to get started on that pretty quick.

Just too cool, Joe. Thanks for sharing the link.

Man thanks Greg. I got them accessories from HobbyLinc. Check it out: http://www.hobbylinc.com/detail-master-interior-junk-plastic-model-vehicle-accessory-kit-1:24-1:25-scale-2380

Wow, lotsa progress since I last checked. Marvelous work, Joe.

Where did you come up with the scale sunglasses and keys? They are awesome.

Thanks Lee and Joe! I'm currently working on the truck bed while the flames mask is inbound.........

Oh Yeah, The paint looks fabulous Joe. Excellent work getting it just right. The pickup looks great all mocked up with the grill. I'm pretty darn excited to see you get the flames on. I have all the confidence in the world that you will nail that part of the paint job. Flat out awesome Joe. I'm lovin' it.

Coming along very nicely Joe.

Thanks crown. I'm learning every second and around every corner of this build myself. lol

Duplicate post. Edited.

kpnuts: Give it a try. Just plan it all out in your head. The internet is endless on resources and parts. You'll have a total blast if you take your time.

Joe: Thanks good buddy!

Stone Dude:This kit is terrible make no mistake! Careful planning and test fit are parmount in putting this kit together. Thanks for the comments.

TankerBuilder: Yes I had to use a mag with a Cobra. lol

Jim Barton: Thanks for the good comments!

I just wasn't feelin' the paint job from earlier so in the brake fluid it went to strip everything and started the whole process over again only this time the paint came out smoother and I actually made it to the clear coat this time around Here it is with the paint and the clear. I still have to apply the flames (which I ordered an adhesive template today from Australia) and clear it again. Then it'll be down to polishing and buffing out the clear. We're gettin' there folks!
Here's a mock up with the grille just stuck in place:

Love the magazine and other stuff on the seat!

Hey !

   Did you really have to pick an issue of Hot Rod that had a Cobra on the cover ? LOL.LOL. -  T.B.

Naw ;

 I don,t travel to shows much . Gas prices and a fixed income did that in . I miss it too . T.B.

I like this build a lot, looking good. I always wondered if this kit would be worth building, looks like it. 

Great to see the paint going on. It's lookin' right fine so far. The mag, keys and sunglasses are awesome. What a fantastic touch.

Wow I've never tried anything like that looks like a lot of forethought has to go into something like this, very inspiring.

LOL . Thanks for the vote of confidence Mike...(cept for those flames by hand.....YEEESH!) not yet my good friend, not yet.

He, he, he. I thought I'd get that reaction lol!

Carry on with yo' bad self.  :)

Thank you kindly Mr. Mike and that'll be a NO! lol

Final details on the seat:

Dang, 'Stang! This is just getting better, and better. Are you brave enough to AB your own custom flame job?? LOL
